One of my biggest pet peeves with ALL car manufacturers: Shiny chrome accents on the dash. DO NOT put reflective surfaces on the inside of the vehicle! You can see the terrible effect starting at 7:20 time stamp. I don't want little mirrors directing sunlight into my eyes randomly while I'm driving.
Don't like sunroofs? Two thumbs up. I don't either. I thought I was the only guy that doesn't like sunroofs. Wife doesn't like them either. Why pay for something you don't like? I have a little commuter car that came with a sunroof. 99% of the time the sunroof is closed and shade pulled. Won't make that mistake again. Dealer couldn't believe I didn't want the sunroof on the truck.
Marty Blackford I don’t like them either. Porsche has them as a standalone option no matter the model. The Telluride and the Palisade have panoramic sunroofs packaged with the leather seating. Ford has them as a standalone or in high end packages. Our Yukon has one as does the Sentra but I don’t drive them often. My Toyota doesn’t have one and I love it.
My AT4 actually has the lockbox safe in the center console. It is great because it raises the level and makes it a little more shallow for easy access to the little things. And of course you can put in the combo and open up the lid to access the larger compartment underneath.
As usual a good review. The price on the truck gave me heart attack pain. I worry about how long it will take for people to not be able to afford those astronomical prices and the auto industry takes a severe nose dive.
Drop the tailgate on a trailer hitch and can’t imagine repair cost on that alone. Good idea bad design. Fail on that and would pass on new gate til GM resigns ir
Love your review one of the best on this truck, I have a 2019 Silverado LTZ and love it, and I agree on the interior very well done, the rest of the world compares it to the new Ram, my buddy has a new Ram and after 10 months has nothing but regrets the big screen and the interior gets old and he is trading it in for a AT4
The thing I hate most in mine, is the interior has that stupid, chrome trim around everything. It looks good, until you’re blinded by the sun reflecting off of it. Also, the pro tailgate MUST have a sensor to detect if you have a hitch ball. They have so many other sensors, this one should have been a no brainer. The reason there is no switch on the lights in the bed? Neighbor kids 😃
Thanks for a great review! The engine on this truck IS phenomenal! We own the 2018 version V8 6,2L and tow a travel trailer (6500lbs) with it, and wow, it is amazing... We litteraly shop "until we dropped" before buying it (SLT Crew Long Bed) and we simply are amazed everytime we drive it! Silent, smooth, very good on gas! It is indeed a great machine! We call it 'The beast" LOL. Remi from Montreal.
You bought a crew cab truck with a long bed? Why? The only reason to buy a truck with a long bed is to tow a fifth wheel and/or gooseneck trailer. Do you have trouble parking the extra long truck at shopping centers?
I was at a dealer and there is no skids plates only on the engine and it to tin :( that’s all :( They need to put the interior from 2021 Yukon :) and electronic lockers to :( The GM it’s not off road truck it’s Country road truck LOL 😂 And there is no 2 inches lifting kit it’s level kit LOL , it hurts to knuckles and it’s made to be in the shop :( If you look carefully there is no difference then Denali & Sierra or AT4 :( only Rancho shocks junk and tiers LOL 😂 NO Dif Lockers no proper lift kit :( and cheep Shocks :((
J.D. since you have the truck for a week how about hooking a good size camper to it and tell us how well it tows? I really like that truck and the locking diff was the icing on the cake for me. lol
On your Ford if you set up all 4 doors to unlock with a single push of the button then they will all unlock when you touch that front door handle sensor.
I like the GMC AT4 not a bad price for the truck with all the tech and cool features built-in to it. But I would wait for the truck sale GMC has every year before buying. Great review and thanks for sharing JD.
Agreed Sierra AT4 6.2L is my favorite though 5.3L 8A is still way more than enough. 3 complaints bed lights button, mirror light turn on while in drive (low speeds at least), off-road terrain mode like the denalis have
The 2019 5.3+8-speed trucks accelerate as fast as a 2019 Ram with the 5.7. That's more than enough for most guys. Plus the 5.3 will get 4 or 5 mpg better on the highway.
@@hochhaul for sure on the power i can't wait to drive a 5.3L 10-speed the 19 ram 5.7L was a disappointment compared to my 14 big horn. On the mpg I'd have no idea they all seem real close depending on setup. But the 5.3L seem to get 2-3 mpg better than most.
Beautiful truck; not worth the money, though. I concur with the reviewer: no sun roof in a truck, and just how many of the gadgets and gizmos that are on these new trucks does an owner really, truly use on a day to day basis? I know that I am probably in a super small minority here, but if this truck was offered as a regular cab, 8' bed, 40/60 bench seat with no center console, and a 6 speed manual, damn Willis, I'd be at the dealer in a heartbeat.
Funny how the Chevy Silverado overview he gave said hated the gauges (which they are ugly/cheap looking) but this review he loves them. Looks like GM got to this guy now it's time for his pay back to all their swanky outings. When I looked at that truck it = small sunroof, no panoramic - not a true rear flat floor - gauges were cheap - crowbar column shifter - horrible interior (super cheap and plastic door panels) - cheapest ugly wood trim I've ever seen in any vehicle - nav screen was smaller than my iPhone screen and was not clear at all - radio buttons were cheap thin china plastic - side mirrors did not electric fold - side steps swing sideways which get caught in the snow. Liked the front end but the aerodynamic was just short of a fridgerator on it's side going down the road. And last, the price was such a joke I'm still laughing...
Have to say, that as a "Ford guy," I'm intrigued by this GMC. I'm looking forward to Part 2 of the review; REALLY hoping you'll be covering the tow capability. Especially, considering your recent review of the Rockwood product. Thanks for your hard work! Y'all Be Safe!
@@Encourageable I never have either but still, you won't buy it for less than 55k, that's still 20k more than I paid for an 2006 2500 LT Dmax new. Which is still twice the truck.
I dont know why people just dont wait until october year agter year for a truck, its 10k off a massively inflated msrp,, and puts it where it kinda should be priced.
Agree with you on just about everything. Only wish GM would improve the interior material quality and spend a little more time on design. Ram is building a better interior by a pretty significant margin over GM and Ford.

@@mmholling87 I paid I think $3,600 for mine, but it was also a 2500 HD gas truck but just a work truck model, msrp of 43k. They might've been trying to screw me over though but HD trucks have more expensive components and they assume you'll use it to tow which causes a lot of wear and tear. I guess it depends on your vehicle though. But 1,900 sounds like a pretty good deal just for the off chance something did happen.
I don't understand why gm does not offer the max trailer package on the at4/trail boss package? I want the factory 2" lift without having to sacrifice towing capacity. why is this option not available?
Shawn Tyree most off-road packages, even mild ones like the AT4, have a more compliant suspension which is not as effective at controlling a heavier trailer so they are rated less than the standard 4x4 trucks.
@@jamesbeaman6337 yet the 2020 gmc 2500hd at4 is rated to tow well over 20k lbs...? clearly the capability is present when configuring the truck at the factory, hmmmmmm
Overall a very nice truck, but for a "off road" truck that front end has way too much hanging down...I also wish they stayed with the Bilsteins that were offered for so many years (Rancho are considered white junk by anybody that goes off road). Still not understanding why the tires aren't bigger?...they look small in the fender wells...Can't stand sunroofs either. Great camera system! Would I trade it for my loaded 2018 Raptor?....hell no, BUT for someone who doesn't need all the Raptor has to offer off road I think is a very nice truck. Very good review also, thank you.
In regards to exterior styling between the GMC and Chevrolet, heres my take...the GMC is a game winning homerun! Love it! Whereas the exterior styling of the Chevy is a high pop fly to end the inning! Sounds promising coming off the bat, but overall a real let down! Not a fan at all!
Overall not a truck I would buy. To many things I don’t like. The headrest feature is nice but that’s minor. To much going on in the dash, I see many accidents as people focus on attempting to navigate too many things. The cameras are probably the best feature IMHO. You still get a thumbs up for a good review.
What truck should I buy if technology is too overwhelming for my small brain? I don’t like this, I don’t like that. I’m a real man who hates modern conveniences and I use my beard to wash my 2004 Silverado before doing push-ups on hot asphalt. Good review though.
@@2wheelobsessed - yep, $10k is about the 'standard' discount of these new trucks. They are still way overpriced IMHO, especially when you closely examine the crappy materials.
ChevySS1968 Yea everything’s overpriced these days especially vehicles. If you want a high end loaded up pickup your gonna pay for it. They resell with 100K mi on them for still a decent amount. Shits crazy
Great review, but it is not enough to convince me to trade my 3.5L EcoBoost Max Tow F150 with FX4 package. That interior looks like it was ripped out of 2003 Sierra and given the "pimp my ride" treatment and then sent out the door. I am impressed with the 6.2L V8, but I would hate to pay 60 cents more per gallon of gas every time I fill up the tank because my EcoBoost runs very nicely on 87 octane.
So I am looking at 2 trucks and would really love to see a review on the 2019 Ram Power Wagon. I have built out and spec'd out the 2019 GMC AT4 and Power Wagon. With both trucks spec'd out fully and the way I want them it would be 66,000 and 70,000. Which one do you think is the more expensive one? What is your thoughts and opinions on which truck you like better? So for me I want a truck that can do all things well and that is from towing and off road! I will be towing a trailer that is either going to be 6 thousand or 9 thousand depends on what I need for my business. BTW love your reviews and how detailed they are. You and TFL are the two I watch for my truck information and comparisons. Thanks Conrad
The tailgate is neat, but it's novelty isn't worth 60k. It feels like GM is trying to hard. The whole truck is just way to busy for me, too many angles, lines, and some sort of fake future brauny look. I like that GM is making a wider range of engines, but an 04 Silverado was THE LAST GM product I will ever own. Ford is the undisputed heavy weight champion of trucks.
Just a personal preference, I have been a GMC Sierra fan all my life but with this generation I prefer the Silverado Trail Boss more then the AT4. Thanks for your outstanding reviews brother.
$66,000 and no motorize head rest? Seriously, I have a couple of questions, number one, do you think that tailgate will hold up to hard use?Second, can you compare the interior roominess of this GMC to a comparable Ford product? A friend of mine told me that the general motors pick up trucks seem a lot tighter than the Ford to do with less room?
The 6.2 and EcoBoost similar power wise but the 6.2 sounds better and it gets better fuel economy. The Hemi is weak compared to the two and is running an 8 speed AT, where GM and Ford are using a 10 speed.
@@mmholling87 Nope. The Ram weighs too much. www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a23707958/2019-ram-1500-crew-cab-4x4-pickup-by-the-numbers/ www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a25016363/2019-chevy-silverado-1500-by-the-numbers/ Same acceleration numbers. 5.7 vs 5.3
Great truck, but the AT4 only comes with a black interior. Whey do the manufacturers insist on putting these soul-sucking, pit-of-darkness, blackety-blackness, summertime-blast-furnace, ass-burning black interiors on anything remotely sporty?
Wrong on unlocking the Ford doors...as you do, I also own a 2017 Super Duty. I can unlock all doors from either of the front doors without doing as you described.
Currently Gm has the best looking exterior on trucks, what they don't have is great seats. My Titans seats are way nicer. Drove my dad's 1ton 2018 High country 1000ks, in one day, by the end of the day I couldnt wait to get back into my seats. Sure the Gm seats will outlast rams, quality. But the function of the new ones are terrible.
I live in Corpus also and I am ashamed that your viewers had to see one of our most iconic streets and how bad of shape its in. That is Ocean Drive and we may never see it fixed in our life time. About 50% of our streets in this town either need major repairs or complete replace. Anyway.... I didn't mean to seem angry here....just stinks. Other than that great review on the GMC!
It has never required premium. It has always been recommended but not required. Just like Ram recommends 89 octane in the Ram 5.7 Hemi and Ford recommends premium in the 2.7 and 3.5 Ecoboost engines.
Sure it costs the same as a house...no automobile is worth that much..too much technology means u can't work on it urself...thumbs down...i have 2001 gmc serria I bought for 3000$ gonna drive it till the wheels fall off
Suzie Wheeler what kinda house can you buy for 60k? There’s not even a repo listed for that where I live, in Kentucky! Not a cheap truck I agree but come on.
Ah you said my favorite locking diff. GM has had great diffs through the years my neighbor just bought a Denali same color as your testing, he paid more, but I’ll tell you that’s a nice truck and it’s a rocket ship that 6.2 doesn’t disappoint it’s all pure GM there. I wish I had my old mans 1970 heavy half GMC with a 427 old school vs. new..Lol
Brother, anyone can be racist.... Including folks who think others are. Racism and profiling by skin color or ethnicity is wrong regardless of the person's ethnicity or skin color it's coming from.
Good review but I still think they are really butt ugly truck and ive always got a hitch in my reciever so I'd destroy that tailgate and with gms wavering quality control and temperamental HVAC systems I'm out

Warning if you have a ball hitch in the receiver it can hit the tail gate if you put the step down. As a friend found out on his 2 week old truck.

Just adds more weight and reduces structural rigidity. If you want a truck to have all the gadgets and fuel efficient then it's not a real truck.

Same here. Can't stand rotary shift knobs or big console shifters.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, Doesn't this truck cap out at 98mph with the tires the AT4 comes with makes having the 6.2 liter totally useless..

And I've always preferred the Silverado styling.
Overall not a truck I would buy. To many things I don’t like. The headrest feature is nice but that’s minor. To much going on in the dash, I see many accidents as people focus on attempting to navigate too many things. The cameras are probably the best feature IMHO. You still get a thumbs up for a good review.
What about the tow rating? Did I miss it?
I thought this truck had 20inch rims
Nice truck. Not 66k nice though.
Could you check if a tow and stow hits the tailgate?
I have one and it depends how high you have the adjustment
@@Durataur what about in stowed position?
@@joseluismendoza9916 does not hit in the stowed position, depending on the size of the drop hitch
Thanks
Where was this video taken? Perfect scenery and a perfect truck (for me)..
He lives in Corpus Christi, Tx.
What truck should I buy if technology is too overwhelming for my small brain? I don’t like this, I don’t like that. I’m a real man who hates modern conveniences and I use my beard to wash my 2004 Silverado before doing push-ups on hot asphalt. Good review though.
Looks nice, but The Ford Raptor still king in half ton section
All these lazy features for these young Juul smoking baby men. Bumper and rear tire still work fine for me when climbing into the bed.
Young Juul smoking baby men drive Ram 1500's.
Triggered much?
Not to crazy about the design. I like the previous models much better. I like the dodge and ford mid side trucks much better.
All it’s missing is the 12” display
Does the truck have a factory installed leveling kit like the trail boss?
Yes
That is a nice waterfront drive in Texas you were doing!
Nice video, nice truck! 👍
Alot nicer truck. Than ford or dodge. Yrs later hold way better resale value than all half ton trucks. Accept Toyota. Hold about the same.
LOLOL at the $66k price. It's not even a diesel. My God, can the average working stiff REALLY afford to pay these prices????
They are heavily discounted at dealers. Just put a deposit down on one sticker was 63K and change. Got it for 53K and change.
@@2wheelobsessed - yep, $10k is about the 'standard' discount of these new trucks. They are still way overpriced IMHO, especially when you closely examine the crappy materials.
ChevySS1968 Yea everything’s overpriced these days especially vehicles. If you want a high end loaded up pickup your gonna pay for it. They resell with 100K mi on them for still a decent amount. Shits crazy
Good review and nice truck but... No adaptive cruise control. Why?.. Loaded with technology?..
Great review, but it is not enough to convince me to trade my 3.5L EcoBoost Max Tow F150 with FX4 package. That interior looks like it was ripped out of 2003 Sierra and given the "pimp my ride" treatment and then sent out the door. I am impressed with the 6.2L V8, but I would hate to pay 60 cents more per gallon of gas every time I fill up the tank because my EcoBoost runs very nicely on 87 octane.
Gary Blatt mm repair after repair keep it
The older trucks from the 90s and 2000s were real mans trucks. These are grocery getter cars 😂
So I am looking at 2 trucks and would really love to see a review on the 2019 Ram Power Wagon. I have built out and spec'd out the 2019 GMC AT4 and Power Wagon. With both trucks spec'd out fully and the way I want them it would be 66,000 and 70,000. Which one do you think is the more expensive one? What is your thoughts and opinions on which truck you like better? So for me I want a truck that can do all things well and that is from towing and off road! I will be towing a trailer that is either going to be 6 thousand or 9 thousand depends on what I need for my business. BTW love your reviews and how detailed they are. You and TFL are the two I watch for my truck information and comparisons. Thanks Conrad
What can you tow with this truck. I love your videos. I have learned so much. Thank you
Around 9000, they have towing charts
My AT4 crew cab standard box 6.2l is rated at 9600lbs.
He recommends to stay within 6,000 pounds or so, give or take a thousand or so depending on your experience and comfort level with towing.
Well, it’s a Chevy so probably a 48” zero turn lawn mower.
Jesse McDonald I just put a deposit on exactly what you have. How you liking it?
That side bed step doesn't belong on a luxury pickup. Just asking for belt buckles and such to scratch the crap out of the bed side
The tailgate is neat, but it's novelty isn't worth 60k. It feels like GM is trying to hard. The whole truck is just way to busy for me, too many angles, lines, and some sort of fake future brauny look. I like that GM is making a wider range of engines, but an 04 Silverado was THE LAST GM product I will ever own. Ford is the undisputed heavy weight champion of trucks.
Everyone knows RAM has the best infotainment system out of all.
Ram also has a lot of issues with it. There been tons of known problems.
Grand Jeep they have the most unreliable infotainment system for sure. Not sure what makes it the best.
Think we are all getting sticker blind these days.
Just a personal preference, I have been a GMC Sierra fan all my life but with this generation I prefer the Silverado Trail Boss more then the AT4. Thanks for your outstanding reviews brother.
$66,000 and no motorize head rest? Seriously, I have a couple of questions, number one, do you think that tailgate will hold up to hard use?Second, can you compare the interior roominess of this GMC to a comparable Ford product? A friend of mine told me that the general motors pick up trucks seem a lot tighter than the Ford to do with less room?
IT DOES NOT MATTER....THE TOYOTA RIDERS WILL NEVER STEP DOWN...VERY SELFISH..SHAME ON THEM!!
The outlet in the bed - Toyota's had that for 2 years as an option. Some of the features are nice but it is just another thing that could go wrong.
The only thing that this GMC has bigger, better is the 6.2 engine. MAYBE.
The 6.2 and EcoBoost similar power wise but the 6.2 sounds better and it gets better fuel economy. The Hemi is weak compared to the two and is running an 8 speed AT, where GM and Ford are using a 10 speed.
@@mmholling87 The Hemi is weak these days. Even a 2019 GM with the 5.3 and 8-speed accelerates as fast as a 2019 Ram with the 5.7.
@@hochhaul the hemi is 395 hp 400 TQ vs 5.3 355 hp 383tq. It seems like the hemi should still be faster.
@@mmholling87 Nope. The Ram weighs too much.

Same acceleration numbers. 5.7 vs 5.3
Great truck, but the AT4 only comes with a black interior. Whey do the manufacturers insist on putting these soul-sucking, pit-of-darkness, blackety-blackness, summertime-blast-furnace, ass-burning black interiors on anything remotely sporty?
All that money and still have cheap plastic fender wells. They should at least color match.
Tempting to trade my 14 in lol.
Wrong on unlocking the Ford doors...as you do, I also own a 2017 Super Duty. I can unlock all doors from either of the front doors without doing as you described.
Currently Gm has the best looking exterior on trucks, what they don't have is great seats. My Titans seats are way nicer. Drove my dad's 1ton 2018 High country 1000ks, in one day, by the end of the day I couldnt wait to get back into my seats. Sure the Gm seats will outlast rams, quality. But the function of the new ones are terrible.
I live in Corpus also and I am ashamed that your viewers had to see one of our most iconic streets and how bad of shape its in. That is Ocean Drive and we may never see it fixed in our life time. About 50% of our streets in this town either need major repairs or complete replace. Anyway.... I didn't mean to seem angry here....just stinks. Other than that great review on the GMC!
Does the 6.2 still require premium fuel? Its a monster for sure.
It has never required premium. It has always been recommended but not required. Just like Ram recommends 89 octane in the Ram 5.7 Hemi and Ford recommends premium in the 2.7 and 3.5 Ecoboost engines.
Great review...enjoyed the video from BTBRV...very nice looking...but not enough to steal my ❤️ away from the F-series.
That GM tick though.. 😓
Sure it costs the same as a house...no automobile is worth that much..too much technology means u can't work on it urself...thumbs down...i have 2001 gmc serria I bought for 3000$ gonna drive it till the wheels fall off
Suzie Wheeler what kinda house can you buy for 60k? There’s not even a repo listed for that where I live, in Kentucky! Not a cheap truck I agree but come on.
They finally fixed the position of the steering wheel, it was a bit offset from the seat in the past. The Duramax option is gonna be something
Ah you said my favorite locking diff. GM has had great diffs through the years my neighbor just bought a Denali same color as your testing, he paid more, but I’ll tell you that’s a nice truck and it’s a rocket ship that 6.2 doesn’t disappoint it’s all pure GM there. I wish I had my old mans 1970 heavy half GMC with a 427 old school vs. new..Lol
Did you show the rear passenger compartment?
Does it tell you when racist cops are near?
Brother, anyone can be racist.... Including folks who think others are. Racism and profiling by skin color or ethnicity is wrong regardless of the person's ethnicity or skin color it's coming from.
Good review but I still think they are really butt ugly truck and ive always got a hitch in my reciever so I'd destroy that tailgate and with gms wavering quality control and temperamental HVAC systems I'm out
Lots of planned obsolescence in all those features. GM's engineering is sub-par at best.
The price omg 😮 !! 🤣🤣🤣
